Several links in the documentation return 404 after the sites they point to were restructured: - the CernVM portal parrot page is gone; the HPC chapter linked to it twice, once for the parrot connector and once for the Alien Cache setting, and the client configuration chapter linked to the CCTools download page, which moved as well - the XRootD 4.7 development documentation was replaced by the proxy configuration reference for release 6.0 and above - MaxMind retired the geoipupdate page from its developer site - the CERN cloud documentation dropped its Kubernetes tutorial The parrot links now point to the Parrot user manual and to the CCTools installation guide, the Alien Cache link to the corresponding section of the client configuration chapter, the geoipupdate link to the tool's repository, which documents the /usr/share/GeoIP default, and the CSI plugin link to the driver's repository.

While looking at cvmfs/cvmfs#4179 I checked the other links in the docs as well.
That link (the parrot connector on the HPC page) turned out to be one of several that return 404 after the sites they point to were restructured, so this updates six of them: the two parrot links in the HPC chapter and the CCTools download link, the XRootD 4.7 reference (now the proxy configuration reference for release 6.0 and above), the retired MaxMind geoipupdate page (now the tool's repository, which documents the /usr/share/GeoIP default), and the CERN cloud docs Kubernetes tutorial, which no longer exists. That last one now points to the CSI driver repository, since the current CERN Kubernetes documentation requires a login; happy to use a different target if you prefer an internal one.
The same dead links also appear in doc/hpc.md and doc/parrot.md in the main repository; I can send a follow-up there if those files are still kept.
